While a gynecomastia surgery can potentially havepermanent results, it is indeed possible for the chest to grow in size afterthe procedure. Significant weight gain or stimulated glandular tissue can causethe resurgence of the area, and can thus reverse the effects of surgery. Still,if performed properly and if diet and exercise are maintained, the results of agynecomastia surgery should be dramatic and long-lasting.
Thanks for the question. If necessary, gynecomastia can be repeated 2-3 times depending on the operation area. I wish you all the best.
Thanks for your question. I agree with my colleagues below. Re-accumulation of the fatty tissue on or along the male chest can happen with recurrent weight gain, so chest fitness and aerobic fitness is important in maintenance of male chest contouring. In most techniques, most all of the glandular breast tissue is removed, but a small bit of glandular tissue is usually left under the nipple to prevent a contour depression of the nipple. This small bit of glandular tissue usually does not recur; however, hormonal changes for whatever reason can lead to a glandular recurrence. I believe it is important to follow up annually with your plastic surgeon. I hope this is helpful.
Once the surgery is done (lipo and gland excision) usually there has to be residual fatty tissue for contouring, this can increase in size due drugs (steroids, cannabis, certain meds) or gaining weight. The gland is removed but a small cuff is left behind the areola for contouring, this can also increase in size due to the same factors mention earlier.
The #recurrenceof breast enlargement is uncommon following #gynecomastia surgery.However, it can occur. If this happens, you may require further surgeryin the future.Each patient is unique and previous #results are not a guarantee for individual outcomes. As with all cosmetic surgery, results will be rewarding if expectations are realistic. With any surgical procedure, there are some risks which your doctor will discuss with you during your consultation.
Fat and breast tissue that are removed are gone forever. Sometimes a patient will think that it has returned but the gland may not have been completely removed during surgery.However fat cells can re-expand if someone gains enough weight.And if patients are exposed to some steroids, medications, or develops a tumor - then it can return.
